stage 1
Where actors perform
Stage 1 designates the first or earliest phase of a sequential process, typically implying subsequent stages of increasing severity, advancement, or complexity.
Most commonly encountered in medical contexts—stage 1 cancer indicates disease that hasn't spread—but applies to any graduated system: stage 1 sleep, stage 1 restrictions.
The numbering suggests a progression that can be tracked or anticipated.
